Outerbridge, and was ad- mitted to practict before the Philadelphia Bar in 1884; his marked ability as an ad- vocate was soon evident, and led in 1885 to a partnership with Hon. William F. Harrity, which continued till 1898, and in 1888 brought him the appointment by the United States Attorney General of Assis- tant United States Attorney for the East- ern District of Pennsylvania; his rapidly- increasing private practice forced him to resign this position in 1892, but in 1896 he received the appointment of United States Attorney for the same district, and held this position for four years, resign- ing July 11, 1900; he was immediately ap- pointed Assistant Attorney General of the U. S., which office he held till April 30, 1903; in 1898 was the Democratic and In- dependent candidate for District Attor- ney; as U. S. Attorney, prosecuted many important criminal cases, convicting the Cuban filibusters, the Lancaster counter- feiters, and the derelict officials of the Chestnut Street Bank; in his prosecution of those who were breaking the neutral- 1ty laws punishing filibustering, he had to contend against the strong sentiment in favor of Cuban independence, and was opposed in the Court of Appeals by the eminent counsel, Senator Gray, of Del- aware, but obtained a decision in favor of the Government; the case aganst the counterfeiters was also a notable one, and ended in the conviction, not only of the accused, but also of former United States District Attorney Ellery P.
